Majorities, bystanders and justifications steer our judgement without our noticing. Expectations even steer the measurement, which is why good research measures double-blind.

Who is really being tested?
Social psychology · Deceived in the lab
An explainer film in four chapters on famous social psychology experiments in which the participant did not know what was being measured: the planted majority in Asch’s study, the smoke-filled waiting room of Latané and Darley, the one-dollar lie of Festinger and Carlsmith, and Rosenthal’s “bright” rats, where the experimenter was the one being tested. With the original data and what later studies found. Pause anywhere and ask.
